HI,
what do you guys think of my motoGP exhaust it’s made out of stainless and has been TIG welded by my brother :cool:. The hanger has also been made by me and brother out of stainless and painted satin black. Your comments please??

WoW! I have to say I was expecting it to be a badly done DIY job before opening the links.

Looks very very nice I must say. I bet it sounds like a beast.

How much you charging for them? :)

Any chance of a pic from the back? Is it totally hollow? Just wondering what sort of sound it makes too :) Youtube vid perhaps?

Nope it’s not completely hollow it has baffle tubing and baffle material in it but it was very loud (being a cone shape it amplifies the sound lol) so I had to make an extra removable baffle! I will get you a picture from the back and also a video of it but I only have my phone so it might be a bit pants lol

I really like the exhaust but I'm not keen on the hanger. Have you got some silencer / baffle built in there?

I don't think it suits the bike, but there's no doubting it's a lovely bit of work.

I think you should teach this guy how to make exhausts TJ

I quite like that, it's unique and different without being weird or outrageously ugly.

Nice and unique, lovely mini too (is that your brothers by anychance...all mini owners can weld!)


I like the Cooper S reverse rims on the white Mini. I had a couple of sets of those kicking around until about 5 years ago. Sold them to a Mini nut for silly-bucks.

That's the sound I wanted to hear! That is one of the nicest sounds I have heard coming out of the back of an SV and I have watched a fair few of those slip-on can vids...well done mate

Them some serious skills, would make a killing selling them. Lightweight exhausts, that's where the money is. All go and no show!!

P.S- That shiny one ain't bad either! ;)

It looks a beautiful exhaust. Don't think it looks right on that bike though.

no if you leave it at default it changes on its own for the different forum styles but if i select black from the colour options or any other colour on the message box like that it stays like that on all the forum types
